A record of nine wins in 25 bumpers for a 36 percent strike at this track is, surprisingly, below average for Willie Mullins. Minella Beau has some decent form in point-to-points but, given the lengthy gap between those runs and today's debut, there must have been some setbacks. The yard have also gone quiet following the Cheltenham/Aintree festivals and pending Punchestown later in the month. He may represent poor value as will Burren Life who has been found wanting when the chips are down. Gagas Horse and Change Your Story are capable of surprising these but FLY RORY FLY only went down by a short head over hurdles at Downpatrick last time. Good ground was the key to a much improved performance and, provided there are no dramatic changes to underfoot conditions, he may prove to be the most reliable option.
